Hard blow for the player and very bad news for his club, Montpellier. Hit in the right knee on April 27 during MHR’s defeat against Perpignan, Anthony Bouthier knows the verdict: rupture of the cruciate ligament in the right knee according to our colleagues at Midi Libre.

The international full-back (31 years old, 8 caps) will therefore not play again for several months. Season ended four days before the end of the regular season. Montpellier, which is fighting to remain in the Top 14, loses one of its executives, regularly named captain.

The MHR, which remains on four defeats in a row in the Top 14, travels to Castres this Saturday (5 p.m.) as part of the 23rd day of the championship.
